my phone hasn't made a sound for 7 years and I love it so much.

Well, I have a bad news for you, they broke the notification on the Apple Watch with iOS17.

You used to get notifications / wake up alarm only on your watch if it was unlocked.

Now even if my watch is unlocked and on my wrist and my phone is locked, my phone will get the notification and 5 seconds later my watch will get the same. It's annoying af.

They also did something to the notification/vibration with the latest watchOS version because both my medication reminder and my wake up alarm on my watch no longer wake me up, the vibration is much more attenuated than before. Maybe it's a ultra 2 defect?
